Out of Those Wet Clothes and Into a Dry Martini.

Movie actor Charles Butterworth was a master at playing diffident, absentminded middle-aged bachelors.  An offscreen drinking buddy of Robert Benchley, Butterworth became so famous for his dry quips and cynical asides that screenwriters began writing only fragmentary scripts for him.
The most famous of his improvised lines is immortalized in 1937's Every Day's a Holiday, as Butterworth advises Charles Winniger to “get out of those wet clothes and into a dry 
martini."  

The bowl of this 1930s-era glass is supported with a Victorian column — the perfect pedestal to showcase the Butterworth Martini or other classic cocktails.

The “Charles Butterworth” 1937 Hollywood Martini Glass is offered in a Gift Box Set of 2, for keeping or giving.
